MEM25350 - Pimbury, Parracombe (Building)

Pimbury is primarily of brick and plain tile, and dates to the first three decades of the 20th Century. Its walls and gate piers and an adjoining outbuilding – probably a former stables or coach house – are mainly stone built. [1] Pimbury is depicted and labelled on the 2022 MasterMap data. [2] The gate piers and outbuilding are visible on Google Street View. [3] The building is visible on 1946-8 aerial photographs taken by the Royal Air Force. [4] The 25 inch 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey map shows the site as a clear plot. [5] The few sizeable brick with tile roofed villas of the early 20th Century, for example Pimbury, are probably the result of the railway (MMO42), when for a few decades the Parracombe siding (MEM23400) would have enabled the unloading of previously expensive to transport building materials. [6] The heritage asset was assessed for inclusion on the Exmoor Local Heritage List in November 2022. It was decided to add the asset to the Local Heritage List. [7]
